Overview

• Democratic members of the House Oversight Committee posted a 2003 birthday-album page provided by Jeffrey Epstein’s estate as part of the panel’s document review.
• The page shows a hand-drawn outline of a nude woman, a note ending with a reference to a “wonderful secret,” and what appears to be Donald Trump’s signature.
• Trump and the White House deny he wrote the note or made the drawing and argue the signature is not his, and the president has sued the Wall Street Journal for $10 billion over its July report on the document.
• The publication follows the committee’s posting of more than 33,000 DOJ-supplied pages, with members planning to review additional estate records in New York this week.
• Prior DOJ and FBI findings report no evidence of a maintained “client list” and reaffirm Epstein’s 2019 suicide, and court limits on grand-jury materials continue to restrict further releases despite bipartisan pressure for transparency.
